So, did you get your date yet? Dating sites must be getting popular. About the same time that I was thinking about writing this blog, the Today Show did a segment on dating sites. Time Magazine also had an interesting piece. You can Google “Time Magazine on line dating” and you’ll find them. If you […]

Before I being, I feel I owe my readers an apology. I have been an “absent” blogger of late. I feel I have a valid reason however. One of my dogs developed what is called IVDD and is paralyzed in her hind legs. I decided not to put her down but it has been a […]

I try to help people when they have computer problems. I do run into some very interesting issues. My latest challenge was from a woman in her late 40’s or early 50’s. I certainly did not dare to ask. She admitted on the phone that “I’ve really messed up my laptop”. I traveled over to […]

I have not posted in probably two months and I do apologize. Health problems for both myself, a close friend and now my dog got in the way. I still fix computers and enjoy writing about them but with recent events I’ve found that keeping my BDN blog current was just too much. I have […]

Okay, trust but verify is perhaps a better way to say it. So what am I talking about here? This is a true story about one of my senior customers. I’ll refer to her as Ms. Smith. She is 70 years old and lives alone. She does not have much money like many seniors these […]

I know. I know. This is the second headstone image I’ve used in my blog but there really is a reason. On April 8th, Windows XP support goes away. What does that mean? It means that if you have that as your operating system, and many seniors do, Microsoft will no longer send out those […]

This is a story about a senior (me) taking care of my friend and companion who is also a senior. I am using technology to some degree to keep an eye on her when I can’t be right there in her room. I’m using a wireless camera with night vision capability. I have a laptop […]

Have you Heard Have you heard of Health Care Secure Web Portals? Probably not, since they are very new, but you soon may be hearing from your primary physician that this secure and encrypted way to communicate with your doctor’s office is now available. Like it or not we are entering a digital world. It […]

We just don’t want to have the discussion I think about this a lot ever since I read an article written by a lawyer on the topic. I decided it would make a good BDN Blog topic. Many people over 60 do have a computer that has a password in order to get into it. […]

Your automobile Let’s talk about your vehicle first. Most of us stick to some sort of planned routine maintenance for our cars don’t we? We change the oil; rotate and balance the tires; have our tires checked for safety. We do that because most of us know if we don’t, bad things can happen. Try […]
